Only 5% of Therapists Know This: Why Spirituality Belongs in Your Healing Journey (Dr. Amy Robbins)

Dr. Amy Robbins is a clinical psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience bridging science and spirituality. She holds a PsyD from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology, is certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy from Fluence, and hosts the podcast "Life, Death, and the Space Between" with over 450 episodes. She coined the term "spiritually informed therapy" and trains therapists worldwide to integrate spiritual dimensions into their healing journey work with clients.

In this episode with Dr. Amy Robbins, we explore a striking gap in mental health care: only 5% of therapists have training in spirituality, yet 60% of clients say spiritual practices are essential to their healing journey. Amy shares her own spiritual awakening, which began with a visit from her deceased aunt who delivered verifiable information she couldn't have known. This experience catalyzed her mission to help therapists honor the soul in their work. We discuss why depression might be "a cry of the soul," how Jung's shadow work and archetypes remain vital today, and the seven modules Amy received as a "download" that now form the foundation of her training program. From past life regression to energy healing to mediumship, Amy offers a framework for expanding consciousness in therapeutic settings.

• Therapists and coaches who sense something missing in conventional approaches
• Anyone on a healing journey seeking deeper integration of mind, body, and spirit
• People curious about how mystical experiences can be grounded in psychological practice

• The difference between spirituality and religion in therapeutic contexts
• How soul contracts and soul expression show up in our life challenges
